Pinch and a punch and all that...first day of December!!! Yep panic starting to set in but at least I have some ideas for teacher gifts this Christmas starting with these chocolate Brussel Sprouts I found in Marks & Spencers this year.....
This is my DT project over at
Make the Day Special Stamp Store today so all the product links can be found over there.
I was super excited when I found these foil wrapped chocolate balls, they are already very authentic looking in their green net bag so I just decided to give them a red Goody bag to sit in and a new tag..
The sprouts are a snug fit in the bag so they dome nicely through the aperture in the plate. I wanted to leave them in the netting and just added a new tag in place of the shop one :0)
M&S also have a bag of chocolate balls made to look like clementines in this style which have a hint of orange flavour in the chocolate!!!....... Well..... I'm pleased to report that, according to the label, these Sprouts are just chocolate!! Phew...not sure the world is ready for Sprout flavoured chocolate !!!!
Righty-ho.... two more to make and then onto the next project :0)
Thanks for stopping by :0)

Hahaha ... I did a double take, Jenny ... and then discovered what your gift really was on reading down! So fun, and what a brilliant idea the place setting gift bag is! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! Did see those chocolates at M&S the other day. I am glad you confirmed that they weren't sprouts flavored chocolate. I think I will go back and get a few of them! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious Jenny, trust M&S to disguise chocolate in such a genius manner! Your gift box and tag are the perfect addition!
